Get real,
in 2020 we might just have IPV6 to your local PC. Probably with all the consoles, games, etc that require IPV4 even this is optomistic. (I know many of you will have IPV6 end to end, but I mean for the average Joe)
I think it is our duty not to read the article but to comment on it anyway. If we do that we will be proving his point of view correct. If we all read it carefuly and comment knowedgably on what it says then his theory will be first, it [i]will[/i] be well read by real people.
You know sadly he has come across the self-destructing article: "Hardly anyone will read this". It is bound to be either largley unread or wrong.
The proposed solution for this is in effect a vertical reailway; multiple fifts per shaft, express elivators (only stopping on every 20'th floor for you to change to a "local" elivator), etc.
Writing C code is like being a doctor. If you do it will, have discipline and a solid work ethic, you can perform what appears to be miracles to people used to PHP
Ok, I'll bite.
I've done long stints as both a professional C developer and a professional PHP developer.
What's an example of something you can do in C that appears to be a miracle to someone used to PHP? I assume we are keeping this within the realm of things that PHP is actually used for, and you're not going to talk about writing device drivers or compilers.
That restriction is a bit unfair. I could say what "miracles" could a doctor perform compared to my mum with a packet of band-aid. I assume that we are keeping things in the realm of things that a lay person with a packet of band aid actually deal with, like minor scrapes and cuts to the surface of the skin.
Its like saying that Linux is a threat to feee software because you can run commercial applications. Surley the key to it taking off is having a mix of free and commercial applications.
Of course to claim copyright they have to claim that the pope is a "creative work", like a play act rather than appointed by God. I cannot imagine that I would ever have need to infringe this copyright, but if I did then I would simply ask them to give a declaration that the pope and papal privilidge is all a creative work and I would capitulate. It would be inteesting to see what they'd so.
It just shows you why a constitution is a good idea. The best time to make a cool decision about freedom of speech and censorship is probably not while you are nursing wounds after being attacked, but a change made now would be difficult to get reveresed in the furure. The same could happen in the UK, where I live - one event could lead to hasty loss of liberty.
Oh, wait it already has.
Well you could always start a Nigerian company called bi.ng ?
Great idea. You'd probably make US 20,000,000 million dollars and need to find some helpful person in a Western country to move it out of Nigeria. I'm sure you would be willing to pay a 10% finder's fee.
By the same argument 99% of people who buy a term life insurance policy won't claim. Its not the chance of needing to claim that counts but the value comparing the premium to the payout.
People tend to buy for worst-case instead of average-case scenarios - just in case they ever take that holiday to Disneyland, they don't want to pack in to a compact. Europeans on the other hand take a train.
Well, back in my day we had to do real work. There were no computers to help like you namby pamby phishers have to day. It was get up at 5am, check out the garbage of the local banks, then spend 8 hours hand typing investment certificates and forging cheque books. What is the criminal underworld coming to?
I would second the Greenwich observatory as worth a visit. You used to be able to take a water taxi from central London to get there, which is fun itself, though I last did this decades ago.
Of course, this will fail horribly against anyone who's set up their email system with the aid of more than two or three brain cells. Any sensible system will look directly at the file, not its extension.
Nobody ever said "I'm going to Webcrawl up a page, or Alta Vista some information, or Yahoo my breed of dog", but they do say "I'm going to Google that hotel".
Yes, but I can think of people who would say "I'm going to Bing that new secretary before the end of the week".

I can't wait to see this avaialble in the UK just to see how much it will cost. I bet about £120 about $190.

presumably, then, one could simply pass a law stating that copyright shall not expire until the heat death of the universe.
SCOTUS would probably campaign for it to be extended beyond this, to encourage struggling artists

Or that secrecy of the confession is often better protected than lawyer-client relationship.
In itself relatively late idea, certainly not at the roots of Christianity.
Especially when the confession comes from a child-abusing priest

It would be nice to have cloned her.
Hmm ... I can think of an even nicer alternative
"Not enough women" implies that the proportion between men/women is too unbalanced "too many men" implies the same thing
Not really. If I say that too many men commit violent crimes it is not like saying that not enough women are.
Blond, not blonde? So you're accusing her of being transgender too?
Accusing? You realise that this is antitransgenderist!

Google would just buy you send you on your merry way.
Assuming thay haven't already set up a "paper" company called "goo" in Greenland.

Across the Atlantic?
Beats driving though

So what you're saying is that men are brutish, ugly creatures who prefer to punch each other rather than discuss disputes rationally.
Yes. Argue with me again and you will have a face full of fist.
You mean 11,500 Euro as 11.500 Euro.

This will be very worrying to governments then
